We don’t chase hype. We ship what holds up for real riders and their horses. These are the prototypes we killed—and the exact reasons why. No fluff, no drama, just standards.
Educational only. Prototypes were never sold and are not available. Always follow current show rules and your veterinarian’s guidance.
Sensation‑forward concept that read “hot” on skin and risked show‑quiet behavior. Good on paper—bad in the barn.
What we ship instead: 16oz Gel (sensation‑free), RTU Spray, CryoSpray®, IceBath™ RTU.
Strong scent, drying feel, and a slight slick under wraps. Didn’t pass the “quiet, clean, wrap‑ready” bar.
Interesting lab read; unacceptable compliance and sensation risk for many venues. Easy call.
What we ship instead: CryoSpray® and IceBath™ RTU—targeted cooling without theatrics.
Looked cool. Stained light coats and some tack. “Pretty” isn’t a reason to risk gear.
Too narrow of a dilution window for field mixing and shipping temp swings. Too easy to get wrong.
What we ship instead: 128oz Concentrate with a safe, clear dilution range.
Fragrance forward, variable supply, and dust‑magnet behavior in summer barns. Not show‑quiet.
What we ship instead: For coat pop without perfume: ShowBarn Secret® Skin & Hair Enhancer.
Flash‑off too fast, drying feel, and inconsistent travel behavior. Not the dependable coverage we expect.
What we ship instead: RTU Spray—balanced coverage without the dry bite.
Great adhesion, wrong use‑case: grabbed dust, felt tacky, complicated wrap timing in heat.
What we ship instead: For targeted recovery, use 16oz Gel; for post‑class deep‑work, MasterMudd™ Poultice on clean, intact skin.
Occlusion risk in heat/humidity and fussy cleanup. We’d rather keep wraps simple and safe.
What we ship instead: Thin gel → absorb → optional standing wraps (Wrap Method).
Gelled too hard in cold shipping, separated in heat. Reliability matters more than novelty.
What we ship instead: CryoSpray® and IceBath™ RTU—simple, dependable cooling.
These shipped because they met our standards in the barn and on the road.
If you see a concept you’d like us to revisit (with cleaner inputs and show‑friendly behavior), tell us why and where you’d use it. We’ll review trends—no promises, just honest listening.
